Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 717 World 252

“What coincidences are too much?” Zhao Manrou said angrily. “When I was helping the little sister, my identity was exposed, and I have been hiding with you all, unable to go home or contact my parents.”

"If, as you say, the Special Affairs Bureau has an official background, then it wouldn't be difficult for them to find out about my friendship with Yin Yin."

"You've hidden my communication signals, and the other side is using the people I might contact to deduce our location. Is that really that difficult?"

As Zhao Manrou spoke, she took out her phone and looked at Qi Chengyun, saying, "Do you believe that if I call my parents right now, the Special Affairs Bureau will be coming after us very soon?"

Qi Chengyun stared at her intently: "Why do you trust Shen Ruyin so much? Didn't she refuse to be your friend anymore?"

Zhao Manrou seemed stung by his words: "You, you shouldn't talk nonsense. Yinyin is just angry with me."

Qi Chengyun leaned closer to her: "You clearly know the answer in your heart, so why are you deceiving yourself?"

“I saw with my own eyes how close you two were when you were in school.”

"Would you like me to tell you the story so you can savor it a little longer?"

Zhao Manrou bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes red as she looked at Qi Chengyun.

Qi Chengyun couldn't resist and kissed her eyelid.

"Don't place so much trust in outsiders, okay? Can't you just trust me?"

"We are a match made in heaven, and I will never deceive you or betray you."

Zhao Manrou's expression softened slightly upon hearing his words, but she still stubbornly said, "You are not allowed to speak ill of Yinyin. It was me, it was me who failed to consider her feelings."

“I shouldn’t have used her as an excuse, thinking that because she favored me and was her best friend, I could take it for granted.”

A dark glint flashed in Qi Chengyun's eyes as he noticed Zhao Manrou's dejected mood.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, we need to hurry to the next place."

"If you trust her that much..."

Qi Chengyun's voice carried a hint of seduction: "When we get to the next place, let's make a bet, okay?"

Zhao Manrou looked up at him: "What kind of bet do you want to make?"

"Let's bet on whether we'll still be tracked by the Special Affairs Bureau when you call Shen Ruyin again, how about it?"

Qi Chengyun's expression was very confident, as if he had already seen the ending.

A struggle flashed in Zhao Manrou's eyes. She agreed, but also said, "Okay, but I have to decide for myself who to call and what to say."

“Okay,” Qi Chengyun said, using his ghostly energy to travel quickly, and soon arrived at a backyard.

Before he even entered the room, he gestured to Zhao Manrou, "Let's fight now. There's no need to wait so long. The sooner you know the result, the sooner you can give up, right?"

"What makes you so sure you'll win?" Zhao Manrou was extremely uneasy after hearing his words. She held the phone, not daring to make the call.

She was afraid; what would she do if Qi Chengyun was telling the truth?

Qi Chengyun urged her, "Isn't there a saying that a short pain is worse than a long one? You'll know that only I am the one who can stand by your side."

"Go away," Zhao Manrou said angrily, shoving him before running to a corner near the house and making a call.

"Hello, Xiaoman," Shen's mother's voice came through the phone, "Is there something you need?"

“Aunt Shen,” Zhao Manrou greeted, “I don’t know why, but I couldn’t make the call to Yinyin. Aunt Shen, could you give the phone to Yinyin? I need to talk to her about something.”

After a pause, Shen's mother said, "Xiaoman, wait a moment, I'll go find Yinyin now."

Shen Ruyin was already watching her class when she heard the knock on the door. Before she could ask her mother what was wrong, she was handed a phone.

After gesturing for a moment, Shen's mother said, "It's Xiaoman's phone. She said she couldn't get through to you, so she called me to find you."

Shen Ruyin frowned and took the phone: "Hello?"

Sensing the coldness in Shen Ruyin's voice, Zhao Manrou nervously pursed her lips: "I'm sorry, Ruyin, I'm a little unavailable here, so I can't call you directly. That's why I'm contacting you through Auntie's phone."

"The reason I'm calling you this time is because I have another question I'd like to ask you."

"Yinyin, what's your opinion on ghosts and people?"

“Of course, humans and ghosts are different,” Shen Ruyin said. “I think I have made my point very clear on this issue.”

“I see,” Zhao Manrou said. “You’re right, humans and ghosts are indeed different.”

As if making conversation, she continued, "Well... about that little girl, although I almost died at her hands back then, she does act really cute in front of me now..."

"Cute?" Shen Ruyin interrupted her. "A ghost, or rather a vengeful ghost, acting cute in front of you, what is she thinking?"

"Now she wants to use you to remove the talisman, but what happens after the talisman is removed?"

"Zhao Manrou, do you value your own life so little?"

Zhao Manrou didn't dare answer Shen Ruyin's question, but only grasped a little bit of the unconventional stuff.

"Yinyin, how do you know she's a vengeful ghost?"

“I thought you’d been exposed to some of the characters in novels and movies,” Shen Ruyin said, her voice devoid of much emotion, though if one had to pinpoint a hint of sarcasm, it might have carried a touch of irony.

"Those who wear red clothes are almost guaranteed to turn into vengeful ghosts."

"She wore red shoes, and it wasn't entirely unjust; in fact, as you said, she turned against the father who controlled her..."

“Zhao Manrou, do you know what this means? It means she has a life on her hands.”

Shen Ruyin recounted the items to her one by one: "Red shoes, able to lure people into becoming her substitutes, able to turn against those who control her, and has even started killing."

"With this buff fully stacked, you ask me how I know she's a vengeful ghost?"

Zhao Manrou's somewhat embarrassed voice rang out: "Ah, it seems to be what you said, Yinyin."

Shen Ruyin sensed that she was about to find something else to say, so she asked directly, "Why are you calling again? What do you want?"

"I've already said that I don't know how to decipher that talisman."

"Even if I knew, I would never tell you."

"Yinyin, wait a minute," Zhao Manrou called out to her, thinking she was about to hang up.

Just as Shen Ruyin was waiting for her next words, a somewhat familiar voice came from the phone.

"Let me see which uninvited guest has come here?"

"Oh, it's Young Master Qi, and this... she's such a beautiful and spirited girl."

"I'm planning to open a studio soon. Little sister, you're so pretty, would you be interested in signing with me and becoming a star?"
